12.0.0 (2021-06-08)

Breaking

EdmType.Binary data in entities will now be deserialized as bytes in Python 3 and str in Python 2, rather than an EdmProperty instance. Likewise on serialization, bytes in Python 3 and str in Python 2 will be interpreted as binary (this is unchanged for Python 3, but breaking for Python 2, where str was previously serialized as EdmType.String)
TableClient.create_table now returns an instance of TableItem.
All optional parameters for model constructors are now keyword-only.
Storage service configuration models have now been prefixed with Table, including
TableAccessPolicy, TableMetrics, TableRetentionPolicy, TableCorsRule
All parameters for TableServiceClient.set_service_properties are now keyword-only.
The credential parameter for all Clients is now keyword-only.
The method TableClient.get_access_policy will now return None where previously it returned an "empty" access policy object.
Timestamp properties on TableAccessPolicy instances returned from TableClient.get_access_policy will now be deserialized to datetime instances.

Fixes

Fixed support for Cosmos emulator endpoint, via URL/credential or connection string.
Fixed table name from URL parsing in TableClient.from_table_url classmethod.
The account_name attribute on clients will now be pulled from an AzureNamedKeyCredential if used.
Any additional odata metadata is returned in entitys metadata.
The timestamp in entity metadata is now deserialized to a timestamp.
If the prefer header is added in the create_entity operation, the echo will be returned.
Errors raised on a 412 if-not-match error will now be a specific azure.core.exceptions.ResourceModifiedError.
EdmType.DOUBLE values are now explicitly typed in the request payload.
Fixed de/serialization of list attributes on TableCorsRule.
